Here are some fun pictures we took at our shop, Warren Street Antiques in Hudson NY, recently.  Enjoy!

Here is a shot of half the window, complete with distracting reflections.

Kindergarten table, teeter-totter, what more could you want?

Interesting mold for what?  We don’t know.

Fun stuff – great old window, cool yellow stool.

Tall plant stand, funky trangular stool, [...]

One of the neatest things we have found lately is this antique lidded tea box that someone hand painted all around with hunt scenes.  It still retains its brass hardware, and it is a charming piece for the horse or hunt collector.
The surface, however, is somewhat delicate – you wouldn’t want to put a glass [...]

My unplanned and where-the-hell-did-the-last-month-go blog hiatus is over.  I declare it to be so.

Steve and I were in our shop in Hudson yesterday and took a bunch of pictures.  I know how much you guys enjoy our photo expeditions of Warren Street Antiques, so look for a complete one in a day or two.  In [...]

The camera went to Hudson on Sunday, and took me with it.  Together we found all kinds of interesting things.  Want to see?

And then it was time to go.  As much as I enjoy taking these pictures for you, I would like it much better if you came to visit the shop yourself!  You never [...]

Steven spent yesterday in the shop, and remembered to take the camera with him!  Yay!  As always, this is in no way meant to represent our entire inventory.  Its just the things that took his fancy as he walked around.  Some of these items are ours and some belong to our partners in the shop.  [...]

This is a story about a pitcher, a vase, and how Steven and I learn new things.
Years ago – 7 or 8 I think – we picked up this funky blue ceramic pitcher.  We thought it was kind of cool, and kind of gross, and probably damaged (had it been in a fire? we wondered)  [...]

We are getting organized to travel home from North Carolina.  I took a break from packing and took a bunch of pictures of the antiques we bought while we were here.  We found some wonderful things (in addition to the giant H of the last post) including mid-century lamps, Blenko glass, cool industrial, mercury glass, [...]

Sshhh…  Can you keep a secret?  You can?  Great.
Steve and I are in North Carolina, visiting my mom.  We will be driving home in a couple of days, and we will travel the whole 750 miles with a gigantic “H” tied to the roof rack.  How cool is that??
While we were down here for the [...]

Well, we made it through the Christmas hustle and bustle.  Only a few bumps and bruises to show for it, and some lovely family memories that make all the work worthwhile.  Now here we are — Dec. 26, 2009.  Tomorrow Steven, the kids and I will head south on our annual post-Christmas pilgrimage to Grandma’s [...]

Last year at this time, Sam Pratt (writer, community activist, all-around mover & shaker) put together a fun shopping guide for Hudson NY called Hudson Under $100.  The dollar distinction is important because many people have the impression that the antique and retail stores in Hudson are very high-end, intended for and attainable by decorators, [...]
